Hi Cicero, the Newark pertaining to the Wheeler case is in Delaware. As an aside, it’s also pronounced differently in Delaware — new-ARK — as opposed to the way it’s pronounced in New Jersey — NEWerk. Since I was born and raised in New Jersey, I think those Delaware folks have it wrong, lol. :)

My grandparents lived in Red Bank, near the “shore” -—there are no beaches in NJ, just a long shore. :-)

When I was little I would see a sign pointing north towards Sandy Hook with an arrow pointing to Newark. In my 7 year old brain I thought New York was a new Newark. :-) What can I say? I grew up in the slow talking south. My yankee relatives talked so fast ‘New York’ sounded just like ‘NEWerk.’
